Signature Black Cardamom Pods

Signature Black Cardamom Pods — Smoky Pods for Deep, Savoury Aroma

Signature Black Cardamom Pods, known as Boro Elach, bring a smoky, resinous and deeply warming aroma to long-cooked dishes. Larger and bolder than green cardamom, these pods are especially suited to meat curries, biryani, pulao, stocks, and robust spice blends. One or two pods can shape the background fragrance of an entire pot.

Smoky, Resinous & Full-Bodied

• Large pods with bold savoury aroma
• Smoky and woody character
• Best for slow-cooked, robust dishes

Built for Biryani & Slow Cooking

Lightly crush the pod to release aroma, then simmer whole and remove before serving when preferred.

• Biryani, pulao and tehari
• Meat curries, korma and nihari-style dishes
• Stocks, soups and braises
• Garam masala and whole-spice blends

Protecting the Smoky Oils

Keep the pods whole until use whenever possible.
